my dad

We on earth can be a greedy bunch.

My dad has taken the leap of faith and reached Heaven, at the age of 95 years and a month. Married for over 70 years, his health failed at the end - and yet we still expected to see him rally and spend a little more time with us! His last week was uncomfortable though, and when pneumonia caught him it was too much to bear. Three of my siblings prayed him onward after I had taken our exhausted mom back home for the night.

What a guy! And what a life filled with wonderful memories, friends and family (five children, nine grandkids, and twelve more in the next generation!). He touched so many people, including complete strangers - especially if a baby or dog was involved. We'll never see the likes of him again.
